CORSETS AND TIGHT LAcING
lancet

II has always seemed to us to be SOME
what of satire on the work of nature
that the female form should be thought
to require the support OF Il corset III or
der to make it graceful. We observe,
therefore, with satisfaction, that ladies,
and even Young ladies, are here and
there to be found who have, with equal
courage and good SENSE, dispensed with
this unnecessary article OF dress ~
m0ng the majority who continue to
wear it there are also signs, though less
pronounced, OF the same healthy ten
dency, Tight lacing is viewed with
much less favor than formerly. WO-
men as we'll as men are coming to see
that artificial Slenderncss is no beauty,
and indeed the sham and nnrrason ap-
parent i'll a figure wantOnly contracted
must create in all thinking persons Il
feeling of repugnance which actually
prevents the possibility of admiration.
Victims OF this hurtful practice and
griev0ps error in taste are still, how
ever, not uncommon. Only Il few DAYS
ago an inquest on the body Of an elder
ly female revealed the fact that death
was due to the direct consequences of
her having the stays too tightly laced
This is by no means the first instance
in which the coveted tineness of waist
has been thus dearly purchased. 1t is.
in fact, impossible that this custom can
but iujure the health, for what are it's
effects BY tight lacing, which forces
together the elastic ribs and narrows
the space within the thorax, free action
of the lungs is obviously rendered i'm
possible; the liver and heart are dis
placed and the great blood vessels
unnaturally stretched. The miortu-
nate Worshlpcr of a late ideal loses
with free respiration the due effect of
the most powerful force which aids the
heart i'll driving its blood through the
hody-the force of athoracie suction.
Displacement of the heart, moreover.
can only result in patpitation, or severor
cardia troubles. Thus it comes to pass
that every organ and tissue is under
nourlshed, digestion is little more than
IL meaningless term, and healthy life in
any part of abe body is unknown.
This may seem to be forciblc language.
but it is nevertheless the clothing of
facts which it does not merely envelOp,
but III many cases fits with ii strictness
not Incompatible to the firm embrace
of the most fashionably straight corset.

THE EARS STICK OUT,
ctOliaX Chronicle

1t Is amusing to see some OF ON con-
temporarle>, particularly those OF Alex
andrla. strut about in then assumed
garb of neutrality in the gubvlnatorial
controversy. One is very fDrcibly re-
minded of the fable of the ass mas
querading i'll the lions skin, SO appa-
rently does their ears prOtrude into
sight. They claim 10 have 10 patience
with the Nichols song and dance rack
ct, and while assuming to be entirely
neutral, never fail to stick in wedge
for the other side. We would respect
fully remind our friends that c0nsiS-
tencv is Il jewel" One can be Demo
cratic and loyal to the backbone and
yet opposed to their favorite, and it is
not at all necessary to keep flying the
device 81 am Il Democrat" TO dis
tinguish the species. Any one with a
thimble full of sense can at all times
distinguish, true Democracy, and the
Nichols Democrats, who all propose to
support the candidate nominated by
the regular convention, are no less
true to principle than those who advu-
cate the claims of other candidates.
This is put ia by way of a mild dis
clalmer: and to it we would add the
further remark that our third term
friends are reckoning altogether with
out their host i'll claiming even half of
the so-caled neutral papers. We eau
assure them the biggest half prefer the
"heroic wreck and in the day OF
counting noses will be found waving
his tattered banner.

Astonishing Success.

II is the duty of every person who has
used Boschec's German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs. Group, Asthma, Pneumonia,
and in fact all throat and lung diseases,
No person can use it without immedl-
ate relief. Three doses will relieve any
case, and we consider it the duty of all
Druggists to recommend it to the poor,
dying consumptive, at least to try one
bottle, as so, 900 dozen bottles were sold
last year, and no one case where it fail
ell was reported. Such Il medicine as
the German Surun cannot be too wide
" known. Ask your druggist about it.
Sample bottles to try, sold at 10 cents.

In looking over exchanges one is graf
flied to find that the proceedings of
Police Juries and municipal councils
disclose the fact that but few, if any,
of those corporations are in debt. This
is an effect of Statuary Law of the
State, that forbids those bodies from
creating debts.
The only way for towns and parishes
to prosper is to do business on a cash
system. The old adage that "a public
debt is public blessing" is a false
hood upon the face of the papers, and
any corporate body working on that
principle will neither prosper nor be
happy. With parishes and towns free
of the incubus of debt, with the State
rapidly approaching cash basis, the
future prosperity of Louisiana is becom-
ing brighter.
The dark days are coming to an end.

and happiness.-Thibodaux Sentinel.
